A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution allows for official photographs of the House of Representatives to be taken while the House is in actual session. The Speaker of the House will designate the specific date for this activity. It also provides a way to pay for the process. Payment will cover the costs of taking, preparing, and distributing the photographs. These costs may be paid from the applicable accounts of the House of Representatives.
